“Itu0026#39;s unfortunate that this film is not available in vhs or dvd form for the viewing public. India Song is a great example of Durasu0026#39; reworking of the traditional relationship between sound and image. The emphasis on the sound track is a crucial aspect of the film as the viewer is actively challenged to figure out which voice belongs to which character and the chronology of events in the narrative. Ofcourse, this separation of sound and image can be troubling for some and unfortunately Durasu0026#39; films are often labeled u0026quot;difficultu0026quot; . But for those up to the challenge you wonu0026#39;t be disappointed.”
